SAFETY INFORMATION
Recommended Measures for Optimum Picture
Excellence
The Player is a precision device that is constructed using
extremely accurate technology.
Soiling or friction affecting the pickup lens or disc drive can
impair the image quality. At the worst, neither video nor audio
will be played back. To maintain optimum picture quality, the
Player should be serviced (cleaned and replacement of
some parts) every 1,000 hours. Note that this period varies
depending on the environment (temperature, humidity, dust,
etc.) in which the Player is used. Contact your authorized
Sharp supplier for details.

PRECAUTIONS
Connection to power
SPECIAL NOTE FOR USERS IN THE U.K.
The mains lead of this product is fitted with a non-rewireable (moulded) plug incorporating a 3A fuse. Should the fuse need
to be replaced, a BSI or ASTA approved BS 1362 fuse marked or and of the same rating as above, which is also indicated on
the pin face of the plug, must be used. Always refit the fuse cover after replacing the fuse. Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted. In the unlikely event of the socket outlet in your home not being compatible with the plug supplied,
cut-off the mains plug and fit an appropriate type.
DANGER: The fuse from the cut-off plug should be removed and the cut-off plug destroyed immediately and disposed of in
a safe manner.
Under no circumstances should the cut-off plug be inserted elsewhere into a 13A socket outlet, as a serious
electric shock may occur.
To fit an appropriate plug to the mains lead, follow the instructions below:
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue: Neutral
Brown: Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this product may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
- The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked N or coloured black.
- The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the plug terminal which is marked L or coloured red.
Ensure that neither the brown nor the blue wire is connected to the earth terminal in your three-pin plug.
Before replacing the plug cover make sure that:
- If the new fitted plug contains a fuse, its value is the same as that removed from the cut-off plug.
- The cord grip is clamped over the sheath of the mains lead and not simply over the lead wires.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT, CONSULT A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN.
Note: A 5A fuse is also acceptable for a non-rewireable (moulded) plug which is used for this product.

•When the Player is connected to a TV using both a VIDEO cable and an S-VIDEO cable, only the S-VIDEO connection is
enabled (the VIDEO connection is disabled).
•You will not be able to hear all of the sound being output by the Player if you use the VIDEO/AUDIO cable (commercially
available) to a monaural TV that has only one AUDIO input jack.
NOTE:
•Be sure that the colours of the jacks and plugs match up when connecting the cable.
•Connect the Player directly to the TV. If you attempt to view video on a TV connected via a VCR, the copy protection
function will scramble the picture.
•If you want to listen to the audio through audio equipment, connect only the S-VIDEO or VIDEO cable to the TV.
Connecting a TV Equipped with S-VIDEO Input or VIDEO/AUDIO Input Jacks
The S-VIDEO connection provides a better quality video signal than the VIDEO (COMPOSITE) output. Use a commercially

You can make this connection using a coaxial digital cable.
Digital Connection to an MD to Record a CD
Some Audio CDs have a short silent section between musical tracks. When sound from discs such as these is digitally
recorded by connecting the Player directly to a digital recorder (such as an MD player), the music may be recorded
continuously and track numbers may be lost.
CCDigital Connection to Audio Equipment or MD Player without a Dolby Digital Decoder
•Audio CD
Audio CD discs can be transferred digitally to other equipment such as an MD recorder, play the disc as you would
normally with the audio mode set to “L+R”and use the connection shown above. Audio CD’s recorded in the DTS format
cannot be transferred digitally or via analogue.
•DVD
DVD’s recorded in Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), Dolby surround (Pro Logic), DTS or MPEG Audio cannot be connected
digitally to external recording equipment such as an MD recorder.
It may be possible to record Dolby Digital or MPEG Audio via a digital connection if the DVD player output is set to PCM
and down mix is set to ON (see page 19 “Audio Settings”). Analgue recording is possible but not for DTS recorded audio.
DVD discs with linear PCM audio should play normally.
Playing Dolby Digital (5.1 channel), DTS or MPEG audio
Connecting an amplifier with a Dolby Digital/DTS/MPEG Audio digital surround processor or a Dolby Digital/DTS/ MPEG
Audio surround processor to your Player’s coaxial digital jack provides richer and more powerful audio play.
CCDigital connection to a processor or amplifier with a coaxial digital input jack
You can make this connection using a coaxial digital cable.
NOTES:
•This connection is not possible if the processor or amplifier to which you want to connect does not have a coaxial digital
input jack.
•ANALOG AUDIO OUT and AV (TV) of the DVD player are not available on the DTS audio.
